🎧 Do 60-minute Coding Tasks in 60 Seconds—With AI

Varun Mohan didn't set out to build one of the fastest-growing AI developer tools. He just knew his company had to change, or die. After initially betting on GPU virtualization, he saw the writing on the wall: if there was a future for his company, it would be at the AI application layer, not infra. So over a single weekend, he and his team pivoted to building @windsurf_ai — a tool to help everyone, both technical and non-technical, write code faster and smarter. Today, Windsurf is used by over 1 million developers. Varun joined us on Lightcone to talk about: - Irrational optimism and uncompromising realism - Pivoting at the edge of failure - Training new models from scratch - How they shipped fast and outpaced GitHub Copilot - Selling to enterprise and Fortune 500s - What the future of building with AI looks like ▶️ Tune in on our YouTube or at the link in bio.
